‘You know you’re in love when you can’t fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams.’ – Dr. Seuss

How do I love thee? by Elizabeth Barrett Browning

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of Being and ideal Grace.
I love thee to the level of every day’s
Most quiet need, by sun and candlelight.
I love thee freely, as men strive for Right;
I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise.
I love with a passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood’s faith.
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints, — I love thee with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life! — and, if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death.

I fell in love the way you fall asleep; slowly, then all at once – John Green

You have bewitched me, body and soul – Mr. Darcy, Pride & Prejudice

If you live to be a hundred, I want to live to be a hundred minus one day so I never have to live without you – A. A. Milne

Because of you, I can feel myself slowly but surely becoming the me I have always dreamed of being – Tyler Knott Gregson

Your lips are like wine, and I want to get drunk – William Shakespeare

The best thing to hold onto in life is each other – Audrey Hepburn

She Walks in Beauty by Lord Byron

She walks in beauty, like the night
Of cloudless climes and starry skies;
And all that’s best of dark and bright
Meet in her aspect and her eyes;
Thus mellowed to that tender light
Which heaven to gaudy day denies.

One shade the more, one ray the less,
Had half impaired the nameless grace
Which waves in every raven tress,
Or softly lightens o’er her face;
Where thoughts serenely sweet express,
How pure, how dear their dwelling-place.

And on that cheek, and o’er that brow,
So soft, so calm, yet eloquent,
The smiles that win, the tints that glow,
But tell of days in goodness spent,
A mind at peace with all below,
A heart whose love is innocent!

I love you. I am who I am because of you. You are every reason, every hope, and every dream I’ve ever had, and no matter what happens to us in the future, every day we are together is the greatest day of my life – The Notebook

Your love is better than chocolate. Better than anything else that I’ve tried – Sarah McLachlan
